Explanation:

The skin has a structure with two distinct layers, the epidermis and the dermis.

There are several factors that can lead to peeling skin. It can be caused by dehydration of the skin, improper use of soaps, the habit of taking a very hot shower and even chronic skin disease. Often peeling is related to a health problem or lack of skin care, but peeling is also a barrier that the skin provides to prevent harmful pathogens from entering the body.
